Sportsmanship Reminder
Next Tuesday, November 3rd our volleyball team will travel to Groton to play the Milbank Bulldogs in the first round of the Region 1A tournament. The match will begin at approximately 7:30 and we’d like as many fans to attend as possible.
However, the lack of sportsmanship and the disrespect displayed by our student section lately will not be tolerated any longer. If any inappropriate behavior continues, those students will be removed from the match immediately and not be allowed re-entry.
When you attend a Bearcats event, you represent the school, the community, and everyone in it, and we need to represent Bearcat Nation in a positive way. You can have a fun and enjoyable experience without the disrespect and lack of humility.
More information about next week’s Region tournament will be shared soon when it becomes available. But until then, please find ways to let our student section be filled with school pride rather than classlessness.
Thank you for your time and as always, Go Bearcats.
